As a Government, now that constituencies are being used as centres of focus of administration and development, the Government needs to relook at how it is restructured. Maybe we can combine a number of activities with a view to reducing costs to ensure effectiveness of service delivery. The Minister has given us the figures on the new offices. I think they need more money because for any department to effectively carry out its functions, it must have a proper environment like an office from where they can operate. I have looked at the books and I know that these figures are not sufficient. But I can see serious attempts have been made. I request that they look at it from the equity point of view without succumbing to too much lobbying and ensure that this is equitably distributed."}
